Recitation
مِٹایا نہ جائے گا ۔ شِو پرشاد وششٹ جاویدؔ فتح پوری
۱
دل کو جنونِ دل سے بچایا نہ جائے گا
احساں اب آگہی کا اُٹھایا نہ جائے گا
۲
اے درد تو ہی بڑھ کے چھلک چشمِ شوق سے
ہم سے تو دل کا حال سنایا نہ جائے گا
۳
دیکھو بہت بڑھاؤ نہ اُلفت کی رسم و راہ
یہ بارِ غم ہے تم سے اُٹھایا نہ جائے گا
۴
احساسِ لمس ہی سے پگھل جائے ہے دھنک
اُس گل بدن کو ہاتھ لگایا نہ جائے گا
۵
مبنی ہے آرزو پہ تسلسل حیات کا
دامانِ دل کو اُن سے چھڑایا نہ جائے گا
۶
اِس پتھروں کے شہر میں باوصفِ احتیاط
دل کو شکستگی سے بچایا نہ جائے گا
۷
جاویدؔ میرے فن کو نہ چھو پائے گی فنا
یہ نقشِ جاوِداں ہے مِٹایا نہ جائے گا
मिटाया नहीं जाएगा – शिव प्रशाद वशिष्ठ जावेद फ़तहपूरी
१
दिल को जुनून-ए दिल से बचाया न जाएगा
एहसाँ अब आगही का उठाया न जाएगा
२
अए दर्द तू ही बढ़ के छलक चश्म-ए शौक़ से
हम से तो दिल का हाल सुनाया न जाएगा
३
देखो बहुत बढ़ाओ न उल्फ़त की रस्म ओ राह
ये बार-ए ग़म है तुम से उठाया न जाएगा
४
एहसास-ए लम्स ही से पिघल जाए है धनक
उस गुल-बदन को हाथ लगाया न जाएगा
५
मबनी है आरज़ू पे तसल्सुल हयात का
दामान-ए दिल को उन से छुढाया न जाएगा
६
इस पत्थरों के शहर में बावस्फ़-ए एहतियात
दिल को शिकस्तगी से बचाया न जाएगा
७
जावेद मेरे फ़न को न छू पाएगी फ़ना
ये नक़्श-ए जावेदाँ है मिटाया न जाएगा

ehsaaN3 ab aagahi4 kaa uThaayaa na jaa’ega 1.mad passion, frenzy 2.save, protect 3.obligation 4.wisdom, reason, rationality
This could be the mad passion/frenzy of romantic or divine love. In either case the heart cannot be protected from its own madness junuun-e dil. In order to bring it out of its frenzy, rational thinking is required, but the poet/sufi is unwilling to be obliged by/bear the debt of rationality, hence reinforcing the utter helplessness of the heart.

hum se to dil kaa haal5 sunaayaa na jaa’ega 1.step forward 2.overflow, spill over 3.eye of 4.desire 5.condition
The poet/lover addresses his own pain of love, imploring it to step forward and tell its own story because the poet is incapable to relating his condition with his tongue. And how is the ‘pain’ to relate his story … by oveflowing from the chashm-e shauq eyes of desire/longing in the form of tears.

yeh baar4-e Gham5 hai tum se uThaayaa na jaa’ega 1.increase 2.love 3.rituals and practice 4.burden 5.pain, sorrow
This is addressed to the poet/lover himself, warning against inreasing/reading too much into the rasm-o-raah rituals and practice of love i.e., do not surrender so completely to the calls of love because this is burden of sorrow and you will not be able to bear it.

uss gul-badan5 ko haath lagaayaa na jaa’ega 1.feeling, sensing 2.touch 3.melt away 4.rainbow 5.rose-bodied
Divine beauty/splendour is ephemeral. It cannot be touched. It can only be felt in fleeting moment of spirituality. The rainbow-dhanak is a metaphor for ephemeral beauty, that will melt away upon touching. The untouchable rose-bodied beloved becomes an ideal forever beyond physical reach, elevating desire to a spiritual level.

Life’s continuity tasalsul-e hayaat depends on unfulfilled desire – aarzuu. The heart’s hem daamaan-e dil cannot be withdrawn from the (divine) beloved, suggesting our very existence is woven with threads of perpetual longing that both sustain and bind us. In the sufi tradition, the only end of desire is fulfilment through fanaa.

dil ko shikastagi4 se bachaayaa5 na jaa’ega 1.metaphor for ‘hard life’, material world 2.in spite of 3.caution 4.breaking 5.protect
The material world becomes an existential trap where even caution ehtiyaat cannot prevent heartbreak/disappointment. The only escape is through not getting attached to the material, reaching for the spiritual.
